    I make it two ways....

    One with straight cream & garlic... and one with half cream half milk, french onion soup mix...

    First way I'll slice potatoes and between each layer I sprinkle with garlic granules and salt & pepper, then pour cream over the whole thing (sometimes its better to do cream half way through and then again when its finished so that the cream is all through it (as cream can be thick).

    Second way I mix half cream half milk with half packet of french onion soup mix, arrange potatoes and pour mix overtop.

    My new method (thanks to a bb member) is to cook half the time in the microwave and the other half in the oven. So i'll start in the microwave and cook for about 10 mins on high (stir at 5 mins) then when its soft I'll put in a hot oven (180C) topped with cheese. If you find it dries out in the microwave you can just top with milk.

    BEST Scalloped potatoes EVER!

    You can add onion and bacon etc... but I prefer it plain

    The cream and garlic version is actually a family recipe... ever since I was little I remember it...

    ETA: When I cook it in the oven, I cook it on about 180-200 for as long as it takes to crispify the cheese Usually about 15-25 mins if its cooked in the microwave first you can crank it up high to cook it the rest of the way in the oven.
